In Go, especially at the high level, this isn't that far outside of the norm. In particular, you see players play in other areas (tenuki) at what to a weaker player would look like pretty random times, depending on what's most urgent or biggest.
Computer go players aren't too chaotic. They're just _very_ good at some things that are already high-level-player traits. A computer will just give you what you want, but suddenly it's just not actually that good. It feels like Bruce Lee's flow/adaptation based fighting style applied to a go board.
